Abstract

The risks related to the high amount of hazardous waste have increased the attention to product return in the last decade. A proper treatment scheme for EEE waste helps to give relief from the risks related to environmental and health damage. The waste management requires an effective forecasting to make unfailing decisions for planning and monitoring transportation of goods, opening new centers and allocation of products. We propose an empirical study to forecast the return amount of EEE waste for Turkey where the compliance with the EU directive is aimed to be achieved within a 5 year period.
